Contraindications for Massage & Reiki
(when massage may not be appropiate)

• There are a few conditions where Massage Therapy cannot or should not be performed to protect both the client and Massage Therapist. Please discuss any current medical conditions with your Massage Therapist to determine if Massage Therapy is appropriate for you. If you have a life threatening disease or condition, please consult with your primary care physician prior to your appointment at Needed Touch to ensure your massage therapy will be beneficial.  Or if you prefer, ask your Massage Therapist to contact your physician on your behalf to determine the best options.
  • Some examples of conditions where massage may not be appropriate include: untreated high blood pressure, areas with skin rashes or lesions, clients with a fever, highly inflamed or infected areas, and persons in advanced stages of certain diseases.

We want your massage experience to be as perfect and beneficial as possible. The following provides some information that may be useful to you.
